2 Verify identity

Before you can start using Buda, identity verification is mandatory. This process is usually very fast, but in some cases it may take up to 24 hours if it requires manual review. That is why it is very important to complete this step before using our services.

To verify your identity, log in to your Buda account. You will see a message asking you to complete the verification. Click the "Ir a verificar" button and follow the on-screen instructions.

Once the verification is completed, your account will be fully enabled for trading.

Identity verification is a legal requirement. Buda.com SpA is a legally registered company in Chile and must comply with anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws. No one will ask why you are buying bitcoin, and no one can see it. However, Buda must verify that the funds come from an account in your name. This does not affect your privacy.

3 Deposit funds

Buda charges a 5% fee for its services. This means you must deposit an additional 5% on top of the amount you want to convert into bitcoin. To calculate it, multiply the amount by 1.05. The result will be the total amount you need to deposit, including fees.

Once your account is verified, you must deposit funds in order to buy bitcoin.

Log in to your account and, on the homepage, look for the "Mis billeteras" section. There you will see your available wallets. Select the wallet for your local currency, which may be, depending on your country:

Chilean Pesos
Colombian Pesos
Peruvian Soles

Click on your local currency wallet and then click the "Abonar" button.

Enter the amount you want to deposit, select the payment method, and follow the instructions to complete the payment.

Once the funds are credited, you will receive a confirmation email. You will also be able to see your available balance directly in your account.
